Why Hedges and Shrubs Need to be Trimmed

When hedge trimming/shrub trimming isn’t done often enough or isn’t handled the right way, the plants run the risk of dying because they aren’t cut back to allow for new growth, they grow sporadically, and they can’t get the light and nutrients they really need. Whether you’re a homeowner in San Marcos or a business owner in Penasquitos, your hedges and shrubs need to be handled with care in order to see them thrive.

The Trimming and Pruning Process

Trimming and pruning, while similar, aren’t exactly the same. Each process comes with its own set of specialty tools, proper techniques, and overall know-how.

We understand all of that, and we know that trimming and pruning encourage new growth for shrubs and hedges. This helps them thrive, and keeps them growing year after year. You can shape them, allow them to grow large, or keep them smaller, but handling them correctly so they thrive and don’t die is very important.

How long it will take to trim and prune your hedges and shrubs depends on the size of them and how many you have. A small hedge may only take a few minutes, but a large lawn with shrubs that are used as a fence line could take hours to correctly trim. This also depends on how long it has been since the hedges and shrubs were trimmed or pruned previously, and the overall health of the plants themselves.

The costs are based on the extent of the work, and how often the pruning and trimming needs to be done. Most people have their hedges and shrubs trimmed or pruned at least twice per year, but there can be cases where more frequent trimming is needed.

Pope Tree Service will provide a detailed, written estimate of any hedge or shrub trimming to be done for you, before any work is started. That way you can see the total estimated cost and before work begins.
